Description of changes

Note: before merging this, a bit of testing would be appreciated.

This service performs operations that significantly increase the performance of Nextcloud, can take a while. These are designed however to not require maintenance mode and can be executed during normal operation[1].

Make nextcloud-cron a simple unit instead of oneshot: otherwise we risk that it'll be stopped by the startup timeout (oneshot executes ExecStart while "activating") which can be an issue for very long running tasks or if Nextcloud needs to catch up if one task was broken for a while.

I can't fully test this, as I already have executed those occ commands some time ago and also my instance is rather small and "long running maintenance tasks" usually take less than a minute unless some recognize processing is happening.
